Meal Plan Information

Gordon offers several meal plan options, each having its own combination of meal equivalencies (swipes) and dining points. The meal equivalencies (swipes) are for use throughout the semester in the Lane food court – Lane Cafè – for all-you-care-to-eat meals in Tupper Hall. These meal swipes are also for use at the students' discretion as a meal equivalency as a "Four for Me" during a posted meal service time in Gillies or Bistro 255, giving students control and management of their meals during the semester. A student's meal plan dashboard is available on the home page of their Gordon 360 app.

Dining points can be used for food purchases at Gillies and Bistro 255 on campus. Dining points can also be used to pay the door rate for Lane Cafè or a "Four for Me" if a meal equivalency has already been used during the same meal service time block at a different campus service location.

A meal equivalency is one swipe during a designated meal service block of time for either all-you-care-to-eat in Lane Cafè or a "Four for Me" (one entreè, two sides, one drink) at either Gillies or Bistro 255. There are four meal service time blocks on weekdays (you can use up to four meal equivalencies) and at least three on weekends. After using a meal equivalency during a meal service time block in one location, visiting another meal service location in the same meal service time block  will use dining points – since you've used a meal equivalency (swipe) already in that time block.

Students needing specialized dietary plans will be assisted by the Metz Dining Services Director, and can contact Student Life for advice or support in making that connection.

Please note: meal plans are assigned per semester. Swipes and Dining Points are intended for use within the semester and do not carry over to the next term.

(This plan does not offer unlimited meal equivalencies during the same meal service time block; dining points will be used for a second meal equivalency at another campus location in the same meal time block).
